Well, it's over now, Hope you liked the walkabout, may I offer you a coffee under the wonderful glass ceiling ?
Did I tell you that Karl Lagerfeld was in charge of the conception of design, decoration and staging ? the kind of hot air ballon you see on photo, stand in the middle of the palace.

As a conclusion, I would say that "we" - pearl lovers - still have a lot to do, to popularize pearls, because as I already said, the pearl jewelry was understated in the press, and most of the photos I posted are not in the press.
Anyway below is a video about the Biennale.
There are pearls that I did not shot and you will enjoy them ... though several necklaces such as the Cartier Cassis pearl necklace and the 1.200.000 € Chanel fine pink pearls and pink diamond have their bottom cut
Anyway, it is in english and the best video on the subject, so far, not to mention breathtaking stones and marvelous other pieces :

Thank you so much, Anna, for entertaining us and educating us with the most amazing jewelry photos and video link! I do love the pearls, of course, and colored gemstones almost as much.

And here is the matched necklace.
Right Caitlin it is a cassis pearl. as far as I remember the briollette drop is an imperial topaz.
Isn'it incredible.

Thank you so much for a such a warm welcome all the time. All questions get their answers here, this forum is so generous...
I cannot resist sharing with you that I had a surprise about a stone used by Cartier for their panthers carving ; the exact same type of petrified wood that I am using too ...
